Chapter 224 Wei Ji’s last words A carpet was spread under the pear tree, and several desks were placed on the carpet.
Like relatives with no hierarchy, they sat opposite each other and shared the delicious food.
Jiang He talked more with Wei Zipei.
Ask her how her body is recovering, and also ask her how much she eats at night, how much she sleeps during the day, which one is heavier, and which one is more likely to laugh.
As he spoke, he showed an envious look and said: "It's best to have two children at one time. The children have a companion, but being a mother is too hard."
"Sister, why didn't you say it was hard for me too?" Jiang Ben interjected.
"How hard can you men be?" Jiang He glanced at him, "Once a woman is pregnant, her body seems to be broken. On the surface, it still looks the same, but in fact, the bones, skin and flesh have been lost a lot. What's more, it's a single birth. Two, no matter how many wet nurses and maids there are, they can't take the place of my mother's suffering."
Wei Zipei narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard it. It was very helpful and heart-warming.
"Then I got up in the middle of the night to coax the baby." Jiang Ben said dissatisfied.
"What is that?"
"Then I still..."
Jiang Ben was only halfway through his words when he suddenly saw the man sitting opposite looking towards him.
There was a hint of warning in that look.
He immediately fell silent and saw Zhao Zheng saying slowly, "Don't argue with your sister."
It's quite protective.
Jiang He glanced at Jiang Ben proudly, and Wei Zipei also pinched Jiang Ben's thigh.
"Eat the food," she reminded, "the food cooked by my sister is more delicious than the food cooked by the imperial chef."
It's really delicious and made with care.
Now this is the territory of Yong Kingdom.
From Xianyang to Luoyang, you only need to reach the Yellow River ferry and then go down the river, which takes less than a day.
But how valuable their status was, how busy the Yong Dynasty was, and how inconvenient it was to travel. Jiang Ben knew those difficulties and felt more and more that they didn't care about them.
The king and queen of Yong State even arrived earlier than Jiang Ben and his wife.
When they arrive early, they can see their relatives and eat hot meals as soon as they enter the house.
This is not only intention, but also deep affection.
Jiang Benshang could understand why her sister did this.
But Zhao Zheng, who had always been cautious and cold-blooded, was so surprised that Jiang Ben was surprised and had mixed feelings.
Although Zhao Zheng did not mention Qi's surrender.
But Jiang Ben knew that he was using the warmth between family members to show his goodwill.
Hey, Jiang Ben thought to himself, who cares?
But despite thinking this, he still he immersed himself in cooking and ate up Zhao Zheng's favorite plate of roasted lamb chops.
Zhao Qian didn't understand what the adults were talking about.
He stood aside and looked at the two babies in the cradle.
Zongjun hung two swings under the pear tree, tied the cradle to the swings, and coaxed the babies to play.
The cradle rocked and rocked, and the baby laughed in the basket.
As soon as the cradle stopped, one of the dolls began to cry.
So Zhao Qian stayed next to the crybaby and gave the swing a hand from time to time.
Whenever the cradle rocked, the child began to laugh toothless mouth was open wide, and he was laughing so hard that his mouth was drooling.
"My sister loves to cry so much."
Zong Jun said with a smile.
"Sister loves to laugh." Zhao Qian retorted seriously.
Zong Jun felt that his sister started crying as soon as the swing stopped, but in Zhao Qian's heart, it was his sister who laughed when the swing swayed.
Of course he loves to laugh.
"Look," Zongjun laughed, "Why don't we take him back to the palace to raise him."
As soon as the words fell, he already felt that something was wrong.
This child is the child of King Qi. If you take him back, he will have the same status as the proton.
It was her father who was wary of her and threatened her life.
Zhao Qian immediately ran to his parents, pointed at the cradle and said, "Take my sister away."
These words startled Wei Zipei to become nervous. She looked at Jiang Ben, who signaled her not to be anxious.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, even the petals falling from the pear tree stayed in the air and did not fall for a long time.
Finally, Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "Children have to follow their parents to be happy." Children naturally have to follow their parents to be happy.
This was Zhao Zheng's first personal experience when he left home at the age of six.
Several people ate from the bright sunshine to the setting sun.
Zhao Zheng and Jiang Bi got up to talk about things, and the wet nurse left with the sleeping child in her arms. Zhao Qian pestered Zongjun to catch bugs. After several cases were dismissed, only Jiang He and Wei Zipei were left in the backyard.
Wei Zipei paid attention to the positions of Yong Guo's guards and maids, and found that they were standing far away.
Standing so far away, you shouldn't be able to hear her.
But she hesitated several times, unable to bear to break the peace in front of her.
Jiang He was standing with his back to Wei Zipei, looking up at the pear blossoms on the tree.
The flowers are in full bloom, and there will be lots of pears again this year.
But the person who planted this tree has traveled all over the world.
The person guarding this tree is no longer here.
"Zipei," Jiang He broke the silence and said softly, "What do you want to ask?"
Wei Zipei, who was found to be worried, stepped forward, raised his hand and stroked the rough bark of the pear tree, mustering up the courage to say, "Brother, do you have any last words?"
Wei Zipei has two elder brothers.
She always called Wei Yu your Majesty, and only affectionately called Wei Ji her brother.
He is the best brother.
He grew up with her and taught her how to behave in the world. Later, when he realized the danger was coming, he even taught her archery.
When you can't accompany someone all the way, the only thing you can do is to make her capable enough to withstand the hardships of the journey.
Wei Zi admired and loved him. When she learned about Wei Ji's death, regardless of her own injuries, she knelt down to burn paper for him and cried all night.
She even forgot to ask Wei Ji what his last words were.
Now she is back in Luoyang, where she grew up with her brother.
You can ask.
What if I can do something?
Wei Ji's last words? Jiang He looked at the trees full of white flowers, as if he had seen the heavy snowfall when he left that day.
He said he still had to fight until only one of the seven kingdoms was left; he was thinking about his people and wanted to ask Jiang He for help; he also said he was so cold.
"Zipei," Jiang He did not answer Wei Zipei's question. She sniffed and said in a soft voice, "We arrived in Luoyang yesterday evening. It was so quiet that even the governor of Luoyang didn't inform us. When I entered the city gate, He saw the mother who was guarding the city gate bringing him food, saying that his daughter-in-law would give birth in the next few days, and asked him to go home early. As the carriage moved forward, he encountered two people quarreling, saying that they wanted to see an official. The people next to him advised him, saying If you bully someone's sister, of course your brother-in-law will beat you up. After being beaten, you still have to go to the official, isn't it a shame? The man was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and his wife grabbed his clothes and pulled him away. Carriage When I turned from the road to the alley, I saw a group of people passing by. They were young people who had returned from the army. They lamented that after the war, they were assigned fields, and they had to marry a daughter-in-law, so they had to be more filial to their mother. When I came to this At the entrance of the house, I discovered that the Young Master's Mansion opposite had not been demolished and had been turned into a school. The schoolchildren saluted the gentleman outside the door in a decent manner. The gentleman actually returned the gift and said that this year's repairs would be made by the tenants of the mansion. They don’t have to bear the burden. The child’s parents knelt down when they heard this, but they were pulled up by the husband. Then I came in, walked to the backyard, and saw the pear blossoms blooming in full bloom.”
Jiang He just talked about what she saw along the way, but couldn't help but get wet in her eyes.
She looked at Wei Zipei, who had his face turned away, and gently held his arm.
"Zipei," Jiang He said, "his last words have come true."
have been realized.
There is no need to fight anymore, his people are doing well, and his mansion has even become the most lively place.
The children are enlightened and diligent here, and the sound of reading loudly is pleasant to the ear.
If he comes back, he'll probably like it too.
Wei Zipei turned around, lay on Jiang He's shoulder, and cried silently.
The setting sun sheds its last rays of light. Looking down from the tops of the tall pear branches, the two figures embracing each other are so endearing, yet so lonely and strong.
The king and queen were not in the palace for the past two days, so Li Tonggu felt more comfortable coming in and out.
As usual, the Queen Mother complained to him that Mr. Jiang had some bad idea, and persuaded His Majesty to follow him out.
Li Tonggu naturally knew that Jiang He was going to appease the newly surrendered King of Qi.
Although the King of Qi surrendered, he could not reassure anyone.
Sometimes a word can defeat thousands of troops.
There is nothing surprising if Zhao Zheng goes with king is much more merciful than they always thought.
But he did not explain, he just echoed the Queen Mother, also saying that the Queen Mother loved the Queen and was kind-hearted.
"What kind of kindness?" The Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied, "How about what the Ai family asked you to do?"
"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen Mother," Li Tonggu said, "Not far from Jiuwei Mountain, there is a shallow lake. In the middle of the lake, I ordered people to build a waterside pavilion. What Your Highness wants to say to the Queen should be in the waterside pavilion."
More than just saying anything.
"Does Your Majesty know?" the Queen Mother asked.
Li Tonggu raised his head and said cautiously: "Keep it secret."
